CA State Claiming Show
« on: November 19, 2007, 11:23:37 PM »
I was finally able to make it out to my first show!  I attended the CA State Claiming Show in Santa Nella, California, on November 17th.  I took 14 chinchillas with me, intending to show only 8 of them.  I ended up adding a 9th chin when all of the big ranchers were so impressed by his size for his young age and by his silver coloring.  And a 10th was shown by his breeder since she was at the show and figured she might as well add him to her line-up.  I ended up earning four Third Place ribbons and four Second Place ribbons.  The other two chins got Fourth Place, one of which was that 9th little guy that I knew was too young to show (which is pretty much exactly what Gary Beubauer said during his comments) but that everyone else insisted I enter.  I was just glad that none of mine were taken off the table by the judges!

I snapped a few pictures of the judges deliberating over the winners as well...  Enjoy!

















Reserve Grand Show Champion was a Homo Ebony owned (but not bred by) Twin's Chins.  Grand Show Champion was a TOV Ebony bred by Chin Niche.

Congrats on the placings. ::nod:: Maybe when that 9th guy is older you can show him in another show :) And that last ebony in the pictures is beautiful.

The goal for me is to get most of the chinchillas I currently have sold, including the 9th guy.  I'm trying to pear down to just 6 that will be pet only and are unlikely to be shown.  But his new owner (*crossing fingers*) is more than welcome to show him.   :::grins::

Good job at the show!  It is always fun seeing your own chinchillas on the table!   ::nod::

It was exciting!  With how thrilled I was with the 2nd Places, I told my friend that I know I would have wept if any of them had placed 1st.   ;D

I'm not sure when I'll show again, seeing as how I'm breaking up my breeding pairs and sticking with pet-only for awhile.  But thank you!   :::grins::
